well gas, andrew neil is an excellent journalist. corbyn back foot.cellentjournalist. corbyn has been on the back foot. he was asked six times about the ira and would not give a definitive answer. he has more achilles heels than he has heels, corbyn. he has so many weak spots. i think there will be more stuff about how mass and hezbollah, that the tories are just waiting to reveal about corbyn. i feel they have some stuff. dirty tricks, sadly sometimes when elections. let's stay with the telegraph. suicide bomber may have used benefits to fund plots. what's the suggestion here? the suggestion is that the manchester attacker used student loa ns manchester attacker used student loans funding to travel back to libya. where he is believed, the telegraph says, to have learned bomb—making skills. there is a lot of interest around where his funding was coming from. that is a key element of the police and security services enquiries. the times today was talking about how he had opened up was talking about how he had opened up the good of bank accounts through

there was another element of the andrew neil interview worth focusing on as well.orbyn‘s past, the company he kept when he was a lowly backbencher, very rarely the focus of the media's gaze. now, in heat of an election campaign, that history is being poured over. particularly in the context of manchester, lots of questions being asked about terrorism, the company kept and conversations that he had surrounding the ira, at the height of the trouble is, in the 90s. this exchange, an aberdeen, between —— this exchange between them is well worth a watch. un to these republican meetings, backed by the ira and apologists. at any time, privately, did you urge them to give up privately, did you urge them to give up the bomb and the bullet?|j privately, did you urge them to give up the bomb and the bullet? i always said there was no military solution to the problems in northern ireland. did you urge them to stop the bombs? ididn't did you urge them to stop the bombs? i didn't meet the ira. i obviously did meet people from sinn fein and i met people from other organisations.

here is some of theresa may's interview with andrew neil. we have not rewritten the manifesto. this must be the first time in modern history that a party has broken a manifesto promise before the election! i set out in my ma nifesto the election! i set out in my manifesto the challenges that we need to address as a government. and i've been very clear with people. there are two ways you can approach this issue. you can say to people, we have an ageing society, our system will collapse unless we do something about it, that's what i'm saying. you can ignore it and put your head in the sand, or try and play politics with it. i think it is only fair to be bold to say, this is a problem and we need to fix this now. this is what i want to do, i wa nt to now. this is what i want to do, i want to fix it stop the you have promised to reduce immigration, and you have failed. why we should believe you a third time? we are working to reduce immigration. crucially of course, we will, when we leave the european union, have the opportunity and the ability

the other was the series of andrew neil interviews, which are going out the week after next on bbc one said to the green party, we think the gaps too great at the moment, but you can't have equivalents to the other parties because of that electoral support issue. so we've given them, we hope, a good compromise and an offer i'm really pleased to say they've accepted. jonathan monroe, thank you. away from the election, shock were created this week by president trump's sacking of the fbi directorjames comey. the white house has said he was fired because he'd mishandled the investigation into hillary clinton's e—mail server. here'sjon sopel on wednesday night's news at ten. but if it really is all about the way the fbi conducted the hillary clinton investigation, why sack him now? why this intervention? why not do it when donald trump first came to office? and how do you reconcile it with the praise that was heaped upon james comey? roger witt from poole felt there was a lack of balance in the reporting of mr comey‘s sacking. writing... i'm struggling to understand why the bbc should imply

in the last couple of hours, the bbc‘s andrew neil has had another 90, bbc‘s andrew neil has had anotherr. what we're going to do, as we said in our manifesto, is publish... we refer to a green paper — of course, a green paper, many people may not realise, a green paper is a consultation, so we want to take people's views, the views of charities, the views of others, on how the system should be operating. what i've said today is that we will have... so we don't know what the size of the cap is? so we will have, in that consultation, that concept of an absolute limit on the costs that people have to pay. well, ministers i've spoken to today have said, of course, the important thing is to try to get this right before setting out firm plans, so having a consultation is the right choice to make. they've also said it was better to deal with this problem now, rather than risk the concerns over this policy overtaking the whole election campaign. but it is worth saying that no main party leader has had to make this kind of change to a manifesto plan in living memory. the tory manifesto was, afte

in the andrew neil grilling we saw, tell us about taxes. i can't give you any promises. £8 billion. i can't tell you where it is coming from or whether it is new money or not. there two default position is that the primers has. number one is evasion, number two is blame corbyn. the most important sadistic she out with in that interview was she said, in the next ten years there will be 2 million more people over the age of 75 needing care. we can't expect people in work to pay higher taxes because the tax burden is the highest it has been for 30 years. we can't borrow it because our or ring is far too high. where do we get it? at least the tories have some ideas about. labour is the magic money tree and a free unicorn for everyone! if we had got to the don lock cap, it could have been costed. —— the andrew dilnot cap. ministers yesterday was on... gentlemen, please! i need a whistle or something! we are back to the cap, but we don't know what the cap is, the interesting debate, no limit has been set by the conservatives so far. paul, interesting, this poll. this is the hu

what more did the prime minister have to say about this to andrew neil?a may has been saying, when she was asked byjournalists this morning and then to andrew neil, that there was no change in policy but she has moved from what was in the manifesto a few days ago, now suggesting there will be a consultation on an upper limit on what people paid toward social care. she said she is sticking to the principles of the manifesto but opponents accused her of backtracking, of changing her mind in the face of pressure. the questions now are focused on what that cap may be. people say they need that to decide whether they will back the prime minister and her proposals. andrew neil asked the prime minister to set some idea of that limit but she didn't do so. what i've done today is i've seen the scaremongering, frankly, that we've seen over the weekend. i've seen the way that jeremy corbyn wants to sneak into number 10 by playing on the fears of older and vulnerable people, and i've clarified what we would be putting in the green paper, which i set out in the manife

neil: point of impeachment vote? >> impeachment vote. you know andrew johnson, you and i know we were covering. : don't rub it in. >> you also would have seen a gain because the market believes -- neil: you wouldn't let this to be a factor for you? >> i'm not too worried about this. what i would say the market does not parse through these things very carefully. they will have big moves like this that sort of say we're not happy. but long-term they can't hold a vote of no confidence because they can't value it. >> you know, neil, the real question is this, how much of gdp gets, how much of our gdp does not grow, how much of the market gets shaved down if gdp doesn't grow based on the corporate tax cuts? that's a big number. the corporate tax cuts should add a significant amount to gdp. if that does not happen, you have to price that into stocks. the question will that happen or not? i think there is still a 50/50 chance it will happen. republicans are looking at themselves right now saying this, neil, we need to save the party. donald trump is crazy. he does some stupid things, but how do we save

neil: all right. it's not quite economics but you get the point. we have "your world" audio technology, "your world" producer, andrew weiss.w, what do you think of this? the snickering. >> it's absurd. you don't have to like the president, but you have to respect the president and the office of the president. these were the same people that were snickering when he first ran, started doing well in the polls. it will never happen. when brexit came along. the same european leaders snickering at that. the whole nato group, it reminds me of bond villains. the president saiding you expect me to pay in no, mr. trump, i expect you to die. i was waiting for that. i'm done now. >> neil: isn't it a little extreme? >> mail a little extreme. you should respect the president. but president trump called nato obsolete not that long ago. i say what goes around comes around. he doesn't love them. they don't love him. >> neil: but three prior times, u.s. presidents of three different administrations have quietly told our nato allies, you really have to cough up more. 23 out of 28 of you aren't. they ignored it. they ignored president bushing

. >> neil: when foreign minister lavrov got to the white house this morning, he didn't even hear about james comey getting fired yesterday. >> thanks. continuing coverage with andrewolitano next. garden weeds are scoundrels. with roundup precision gel®, you can banish them without harming plants nearby. so draw the line. give the stick one click, touch the leaves and the gel stays put killing garden weeds to the root. draw the line with roundup precision gel®. >> shepard: continuing coverage of the firing of the fbi director james comey. andrew napolitano said yesterday before the firing that the director comey should resign. judge napolitano is here now. what was your reason? >> my reason is a series of reports that a lot of us had heard that he had totally separated himself from the rank and file fbi agents because of the manner in which he handled the hillary clinton decision. he should have just passed information on to the justice department rather than gone public and trying to satisfy both sides. satisfy the democrats by saying she shouldn't be indicted and satisfy the republicans by listing all of the evidence against her. that statement profoundly violate

reporter: neil, we spent a lot of time talking about the timing of these big policy things the white house want to get out there. the timing is starting to get more clearer comey's replacement, andrew mccabe is the number two interrim. there is search underway for temporary interim after that. the senate will have to confirm the president at pick that would take some time. neil: that is simple majority of that pick? >> 511. neil: thanks very much, blake burman. as i said at the outset, this is prism we examine this next couple hours. does this alter the trump agenda, whether you like donald trump, dislike donald trump, that isn't the issue so much as the economic agenda which is something that he wanted to get back to. does this take attention away from that? red alert politics editor ron meyer. what do you think? >> absolutely, easy to agree with the host but honestly you're on point. not just the distraction in the media, what most trump supporters are discounting. media is obsessed that the republicans are working on the agenda. that is not necessarily true. especially moderate republicans in those 24 tough districts come out and said trump needs to be investigated by independen

neil: all right. acting fbi director who is continues to speak before a committee on capitol hill right now, andrew mccabethe role of taking comey's place right now as they go through possible replacements, mr. mccabe. joined by the head of nsa and cia i want to get reaction and drama building on capitol hill with former attorney general bill barr. mr. attorney general, very good to have you. what do you make of where this is going and how far it is going? >> how far what is going? neil: this is now deemed in the use of some a constitutional crisis. >> no, it is not a constitutional crisis. i think the president certainly is entitled to his choice as fbi director. while i added mire jim comey a lot, i think he has contributed a lot to the country, he is enormously gifted he crossed a basic line back in july, fundamental line in the department, which is that investigations are supervised and directed by the lawyers, the prosecutors at the department, not the agents. what concerned the administration, the refusal to acknowledge he transgressed limits on power. he sincerely believes he did the right thing. t
